Police Squad! - Netflix

Editor

Police Squad! was a parody of the Quinn Martin Productions' police
dramas of the 1960s and 1970s, hence the use of "In Color" by the
narrator. The show's main staple of entertainment came from sight gags
(such as a tow truck being a truck in the shape of a big toe) and
misunderstandings in dialogue, mostly from people taking things
extremely literally. Several great routines came from these
misunderstandings that left characters in the scene very confused, but
left the audience with loads of humor.

Police Squad! - Squad - Netflix

In military terminology, a squad or squadron is a sub-subunit led by a
non-commissioned officer that is subordinate to an infantry platoon. In
countries following the British Army tradition (Australian Army,
Canadian Army, and others), this organization is referred to as a
section. In most armies, a squad consists of eight to fourteen soldiers,
and may be further subdivided into fireteams.
